Ruth:4:1-12




updv@Ruth:4:1 @ Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there: and, look, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, Ho, such a one! Turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.

updv@Ruth:4:2 @ And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit(note:){+}(:note) down here. And they sat down.

updv@Ruth:4:3 @ And he said to the near kinsman, Naomi, that has come again out of the country of Moab, sells the parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:

updv@Ruth:4:4 @ And I thought to disclose it to you, saying, Buy it before those who sit here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it: but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is none to redeem it besides you; and I am after you. And he said, I will redeem it.

updv@Ruth:4:5 @ Then Boaz said, The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you buy from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.

updv@Ruth:4:6 @ And the near kinsman said, I can't redeem it for myself, or else I will mar my own inheritance: you take my right of redemption for yourself; for I can't redeem it.

updv@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: a man drew off his sandal, and gave it to his fellow man; and this was the [manner of] attestation in Israel.

updv@Ruth:4:8 @ So the near kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself. And he drew off his sandal.

updv@Ruth:4:9 @ And Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, You(note:){+}(:note) are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.

updv@Ruth:4:10 @ Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead will not be cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place: you(note:){+}(:note) are witnesses this day.

updv@Ruth:4:11 @ And all the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Yahweh make the woman that has come into your house like Rachel and like Leah, who both built the house of Israel: and do worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem:

updv@Ruth:4:12 @ and let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Yahweh will give you of this young woman.
